Murdoch loses $450m, fails to control Internet news

Rupert Murdoch lost nearly his entire investment in MySpace the other day when he sold the failing social network to musician and actor Justin Timberlake and an ad agency he backs for some US$30 million. This was a good deal less than the US$500 million-plus Murdoch paid for it.

Why did Murdoch make such a bad investment? Because he hoped to use the network as a vehicle from which he could disseminate news. He wanted to make MySpace into a mechanism to deliver current-events content. When it didn’t work out – and he must have known that fairly soon – he obviously lost interest. And as his interest waned, so did MySpace.

This speaks to Murdoch’s desperation – and mainstream media’s generally. In a digital world, he is willing to burn US$500 million simply to confirm that a social network is not a news delivery system. I could have told him that for a much lower fee.

This also shows us the importance of news to the powers-that-be. The Anglosphere elites – for whom Murdoch evidently and obviously works – are determined (thus far without much success) to find a way to protect their failing information franchise.

Nothing in the past 300 years or so, while the elites have advanced their one-world-order, has been so devastating to their plans as the Internet and the rise of the alternative media driven Internet Reformation. It has poisoned the chalice and befouled the well; it has unbalanced the clarity of the concoction and clouded it with truth. A bitter brew … for them!

Western power elites will do ANYTHING to reclaim their news franchise. When one looks at 20th century media development one is struck by its massive size and strategic composition. Every part of Western 20th century media worked seamlessly together. The whole idea was to create an increasingly militarized society that would accept global government as part of the natural order of things..

Desalojo plaza Catalunya…Final eviction.

Desalojo acampada plaza Cataluny 30-06-2011 Comunicado comisión internacional
by Esplugui 30 Jun 2011
A las 2:00 de la madrugada un imponente dispositivo de los Mossos d’Esquadra rodea Plaza Catalunya para desalojar los acampados con la excusa de ayudar a BCNeta a limpiar la plaza. Los acampados en realidad ya se habían mostrado dispuestos a colaborar con los trabajadores en más de una ocasión, pero no estaban dispuestos a desmantelar todo el campamento, verdadera intención del ayuntamiento, ni estaban dispuestos a sustituirlo por un único modulo de 4mx2m, como había intentado negociar el ayuntamiento durante el día, por ser absolutamente insuficiente para ser el lugar de trabajo de todos los activistas que se siguen reuniendo en la plaza.

La excusa fue la misma del 27-M pero muy diferente fue la respuesta de los acampados. No hubo ningún intento de resistencia, ni hubo llamada al movimiento para recuperar la plaza. Para nosotros nunca ha cabido la fuerza como método de resistencia debido a la confianza que ya tenemos en el proceso revolucionario comenzado el 15-M. Para Jordi Hereu quizá, después del fracaso de su ridículo intento de negociación que llevaba ya más de una semana, era necesario desalojar por las malas para intentar no perder toda credibilidad frente al traspaso de poderes a su rival Xavier Trías que ocurrirá mañana 01-07-2011, como demuestran las múltiples y injustificadas agresiones contra algunos acampados cometida por los Mossos, especialmente contra aquellos que estaban intentando documentar el evento y que no estaban oponiendo la mínima resistencia ni siquiera de tipo pasivo frente al desalojo.

Seed-Mothers take on bio-pirates.

Seed-Mothers’ Confront Climate Insecurity By Manipadma Jena

 

BHUBANESWAR, India, Jul 1, 2011 (IPS) – In eastern Orissa state’s tribal hinterlands about 200 ‘seed-mothers’ are on mission mode – identifying, collecting and conserving traditional seed varieties and motivating farming families to use them.–

As they spread their message through the hinterland, targeting another 140 villages, the women also promote zero dependence on chemical fertilisers and pesticides….

The struggles of Malkangiri farmers with climate change is visible in the Gudumpadar village where seed-mothers are passionately reviving agricultural heritage and convincing the community to stay with local seeds and bio-fertilisers and pesticides….

Well-known environmental activist and founder of Navdanya, Vandana Shiva, told IPS that “climate resilient seeds in women’s hands are vital to climate security and corporations that have taken out some 1,600 patents on climate resilient seeds are biopirates”.

“Allowing corporations to hijack and monopolise seed supply is a recipe for food insecurity and climate insecurity,” Shiva averred.

CO2-free fuel exists NOW (NH3) (new Farcebook page)

I`ve made a Farcebook page to promote NH3 fuel click here

This sounds like a scam or a hoax. It’s not, I’m just an old climate activist and writer, not a business.

I couldn’t believe it myself, how come I never knew?..

After all the hot air and ballyhoo.. CO2-free fuel has existed all along. Has existed plus its cheaper to make than petrol, from air and water plus a power source and some catalysts. check on Wikipedia. It’s impossible but it`s true. (needs link)

The power source to make it nowadays is Natural Gas,(emits CO2 etc) but making NH3 is easier from renewables. For years all Europe’s NH3 fertilizer needs came from renewable energy.( needs link)

Cars have long ago been converted and driven across America, plus lorries, tractors locomotives and even a NASA Jet. NH3 fuel has existed for a century, buses ran on it in the 40s!! (needs link)

Plus now there’s a new way to make it, cheaper and less energy, called SSAS.
(If the oil companies don’t `bury` the patents as we suspect they did with the new solar panels) (needs link)

Safety.. Ammonia is dangerous, but MUCH less than petroleum, with a fraction of relative accidents. Its low pressure and can`t explode. Only burns at a precise temperature. Evaporates upwards fast, etc. It IS also dangerous for aquatic fauna.

One more thing, I understand that using NH3 correctly produces also no NOx. an IMPORTANT DETAIL since 100s of 1000s die yearly from respiratory diseases critically worsened by vehicle exhausts. (needs link and research)

The oil and vehicle Corporations know this full well but take no responsibility for all these horrible deaths, nor for the environmental mayhem or the millions already suffering from climate change, or all the unique species now faced with extinction.On the contrary they claim tax breaks and handouts on top of their mega profits. (link needed here)

But its not just the corporations. NOBODY is interested in NH3, (Green Gas, Hydrofuel, Ammonia). Nobody has even replied to my blogposts about it though I have it on Google 6 times. It seems like we need a critical mass also for common sense ideas to be accepted!

The aim of this page is to publicize NH3 CO2-free fuel, and specifically to alert the 1000s of climate, ecology, renewable, Save the Planet type folks and organizations and appeal to them to publicize this option IN ANY WAY possible.

All existing combustion engines should be converted to run on NH3 immediately to avoid the danger of irreversible runaway climate change in our thin and fragile atmosphere.

Ignore this like everybody else.. to hell with the planet..  or PLEASE HELP NOW

Brazil politicians sell out Amazon

BRAZIL
Politicians Out of Sync with Public Sentiment on the Environment
By Mario Osava*

BRASILIA, Jun 29, 2011 (Tierramérica) – The environmental movement continues to gain credibility and support as scientific findings confirm its warnings and natural disasters become increasingly frequent. Yet this growing awareness has yet to reach political decision makers in countries like Brazil, much to the frustration of environmentalists.

A prime example is the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Congress, where an overwhelming majority voted in favor of changes to the 1965 Forest Code that threaten to further accelerate deforestation.

The final tally was 410 votes in favor, a mere 63 against and one abstention, after months of heated debate over reforms that could lead to the devastation of the Amazon rainforest, environmental disasters, and future losses even for the farmers who will benefit from the reforms in the short term.

The results oa survey, published Jun. 10, showed that of the 1,286 people interviewed, 85 percent said that protecting forests and rivers is a priority, even if it affects agricultural production, while only 10 percent supported the opposite view, despite the fact that Brazil is a major agricultural power

a well written article but it fails to mention that top Brazilian politicians are being moved sideways after  they suddenly ‘came into’ vast wealth. Plus that most land in the country is still owned by a tiny corrupt extreme right oligarchy, well capable of BUYING A PARLIAMENT!

Greg’s CO2-free ammonia cars..30 years waiting

Here´s Greg Vezina of Hydrofuel Inc. with his Ammonia Car… still waiting after 30 years!

Despite being CO2-free  (even carbon negative according to Greg) and cheaper than petrol and finally gaining mass publicity the conversion kits still haven’t been mass produced. Car and oil corporations are still completely ignoring Ammonia fuel  (Green Gas NH3).

Adapting transport to NH3, which is readily available would save hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths a year through lung and cardiovascular diseases.  The deliberate suppression of the simple  (but not yet DIY) technology is a crime against humanity.

Las petroleras matan 16.000 el año y reprimen el Green Gas NH3

España evitaría 16.000 de muertes el año por causas respiratorias y cardiovasculares adoptando el carburante Gas Verde (NH3), que además sale más barato y no emite CO2 al quemarse.

A sabiendas.. saben perfectamente que hay una alternativa limpia, la indústria petrolera sigue arrasando, y incluso reciben subsidios . Por supuesto pagan ZERO por los miles de afectados por la contaminacíon, ni la destrucción definitiva del delicado equilibrio climatico, sobre lo cual nuestra existencia misma depende.

Nada de esto es accidente. La technologia NH3 ha existido durante 100 años y sale mas barato. Buses en Belgium funcionaron perfectament con Gas Verde en los años 40! Tractores, Coches, Locomotores y hasta aviones de la NASA han funcionado con el carburante.

Ya es hora de denunciar por nombre y buscar las pruebas de la supresión del Gas Verde y la culpabilidad de las Corporaciones petroleras y automobilisticas en la muerte lenta y dolorosa de hasta un milion de personas el año en el mundo Un auténtico masacre por parte de estos criminales climáticos..

Benefits of Green NH3  (ammonia) over other fuels

  • costs less and zero emissions
  • helps reverse global warming
  • no need to transport fuel (used where it is made)
  • less truck pollution, traffic congestion and fuel tanker accidents.
  • less need for oil wars ( oil is now not worth the fight )
  • less chance of “oil” terrorism ( harder to attack a million wide spread green fuel machines than one or two oil refineries.)   ETC

Funciona como gasolina pero más barato y emite ZERO CO2. Hecho de solo aire, agua y electricidad

Hace 100 años que se sabe producirlo, con el método de hacer fertilizante.

Hoy se hace con Gas Natural, pero se puede producir muy bien con electricidad de fuentes renovables y aún más barato con una nueva sistema (SSAS).

El ‘Gas Verde ha sido usado durante 100 años ya. Está ignorado hoy solo para proteger el petroleo y las corporaciones capitalistas que controlan el mercado.

De hecho se puede producir el Gas Verde NH3 muy bien de forma decentralizado, o con el molino de viento del barrio

  Se cambia en liquido a poco presión, no explota y es poco peligroso. Huele fatal, eso si, pero se mantiene tapado. Es ideal para guardar energía de sistemas solares para usar cuando no hay.

No hay dinero para comercializar el GAS VERDE, mientras se da todavía subsidios bilionarios a la industria petrolera

Que crimen que tenemos que destruir el planeta cuando siempre ha existido la opción de carburante sin CO2!

There are three ways to use ammonia as a fuel.

  • Ammonia can be burned in a spark ignited piston engine, behaving quite a bit like an ordinary gasoline engine, except it will perform at compressions of as high as 25 to 1, which is even better than diesel’s 17 to 1 limit.
  • Ammonia will burn in a turbine, which would be used for long term electricity generation, say in a “peaker” style generation facility intended to replace a natural gas generator. This would be a machine in the multimegawatt range.
  • The third method of producing electricity from ammonia is to use it in a fuel cell. This has always been possible but development has favored hydrogen fuel cells rather than direct ammonia fuel cells thus far.

Converting to NH3

Converting a Vehicle to run on Ammonia (NH3)

How does an ammonia dual fueled vehicle work?

The simplest implementation of the dual fueled ammonia vehicle conversion is physically similar to a compressed natural gas vehicle conversion. A new on-board tank holds liquid ammonia at only about 150 PSI. Regulators, valves and an electronic control system meter the flow of ammonia to the engine as needed after the engine is started and warmed up on gasoline, ethanol etc. A small amount of gasoline is used to idle the engine, then as the load is increased the additional energy is provided by adding ammonia. This is all handled automatically by the engine control electronic module.

Can I buy a conversion kit for my private car today?

No. Not at this time. Conversion work is currently concentrated with fleet vehicles and other large market applications. Although, with increasing gasoline prices, conversions for private vehicles are coming.

COME ON YOU GEEKS WHERES THE DIY KIT !!
